                         surface temperature (SST) in the tropical Atlantic Ocean for the 
                         period 1982 to 1990 using a three-dimensional primitive-equation 
                         oceanic general circulation model. The SST reference was provided 
                         by monthly analysis of observed data obtained from selected ships. 
                         The annual mean difference between simulated and observed SST did 
                         not exceed 1.5 C, but monthly mean differences of several degrees 
                         found for some areas. There were two main problem areas, one along 
                         the western zone and other within the northern part the Gulf of 
                         Guinea. The first, characterized by excessively cold SST, 
                         corresponded to a westward early shifting of seasonal equatorial 
                         surface cooling; and the second, characterized by excessively warm 
                         SST, concerned a region of the Gulf of Guinea where winds were 
                         ight at sea warm. A series of test experiments was performed 
                         during one year (1989) using diret measurements of the 
                         meteorological varables with enter into the computation of 
                         turbulent heat flux forcing, with all other conditions remaining 
                         unchanged. the generally disappointing results may relate to the 
                         heat flux sensitiviy induced by weakvariations among basic 
                         meteorological variables.",
